Riann is already on the road to establishing herself in the American entertainment industry but she is originally from the United Kingdom. She comes from a diverse background and has one white parent and one black parent. Although England will always have a special place in her heart, she’s focused on seeing what the United States has to offer.
Riann has always been serious about her acting journey and she has worked hard to get where she is today. She initially auditioned at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA) but ended up being accepted into Arts Ed first. Although Arts Ed wasn’t her top choice, everything ended up working out well for her.
When Riann was younger, becoming an actor wasn’t even on her radar. She told The British Blacklist, “As a kid I was running around as you do, and then you grow up and think, ‘oh what do I want to do with my life?’ I thought I could be a lawyer, or a doctor, I could see myself in the coat, I could see myself in a court room…”
After completing theater school, Riann took the next logical step and entered into the theater world. She began performing with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) where she was a part of several well-known productions including Hamlet, Love’s Labours Lost, and a Midsummer Night’s Dream.

There are some actors who spend their entire careers in their comfort zone, but Riann has no interest in doing that. Rian welcomes the different challenges that will come her way throughout her career. She looks forward to taking on roles that require her to try something new.

Riann has been through a lot of ups and downs in her career, and she’s had to work very hard to get where she is today.
